How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:10 openvpn-auth-ldap.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openvpn-auth-ldap package and not the openvpn-auth-ldap package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Buffer overflow in the extract_openvpn_cr function in openvpn-cr.c in openvpn-auth-ldap (aka the Three Rings Auth-LDAP plugin for OpenVPN) 2.0.4 allows attackers with a valid LDAP username and who can control the challenge/response password field to pass a string with more than 14 colons into this field and cause a buffer overflow.
